History
In 1964, retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel James R. Eure opened a pizza and hamburger restaurant in his hometown of Stephenville, Texas. [2] He and his wife moved to Austin, Texas; and in 1969, he opened a pizza restaurant in Austin under the name, "The Pizza Place. " In order to identify themselves apart from the rest of the pizza places, Colonel Eure undertook a name contest. Colonel Eure's wife's maiden name was Gatti, which soon won out many other proposed names and The Pizza Place was renamed Mr. Gatti's Pizza[3].
In 1974, Eure sold his chain of 18 Mr. Gatti's restaurants to a group of investors, but held on to a few franchises. The investors worked with Colonel Eure in helping the company grow by establishing in Texas and many other states. [4] The chain has since changed hands a number of times.
By the 1980s, Mr. Gatti's took on a more modern look by adding a game room and a buffet bar into many of their restaurants[3]. recreation room (also known as a rec room or rumpus room) is a room used for a variety of purposes such as parties games and other everyday or casual A buffet is a meal serving system where patrons serve themselves
Today
Gatti's Pizza current has over 140 restaurants. Some Gatti's Pizza restaurants which are larger in size are called Gatti Town and sometimes Gattiland. [3] In 2004, Blue Sage Capital bought the chain [1]. Three years later in 2007, Blue Sage renamed Mr. Gatti's to Gatti's Pizza to reflect current trends. [4]
